updated op. does anyone have any requests? I'm a cop, so im broke most of the time, but I'll do what I can. Just let me know.

I'll have a tach repair video up soon.

Hey all, I'll be posting "fix it" videos that I upload to youtube here. requests and comments always welcome. Basic Wire Repair: Weather proof butt connectors- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPpSWDhVCjM Fuel gauge repair (anti slosh board removal)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZn-w2aa...

Ok, I did a short video for removing the cluster. I'll post a thread in the projects/ video forum too, I'm going to get another one up for tach repair, I fixed mine last night and i have had requests for that too. Any input is always welcome. Thanks guys- Tom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oCWqLHp...

well, I could probably do a video for removing the cluster, but when I got my car the cluster was already in the passenger seat, so I don't know how the factory trim is set up. let me see what I can do, it can't be very complicated. And yes, I always stress the "don't break sh*$" rule.

Get on youtube and watch a few do it yourself videos. you'll want to learn how to prep first, then decide if you are still willing to do the full job.

Just kidding-- yes, that's all it does. It's got a Union contract.

hahahahaha, that's pretty good stuff. ok, Ill just replace the switch with the sender.

ok, I don't need the fan switch, I have a stand alone setup for my fans. Is that the only purpose that sensor serves?

I was just wondering how you guys lined into the oil pressure galley and coolant jackets of your engines. I want to install a couple of mechanical gauges (because I'm old school and I like to know what my oil pressure and coolant temp actually is at any given time). I assume that the factory coolant...

Is it possible that most of your oil would be in the cooler/ lines/ engine, rather than the pan? you may have to add an extra quart because of the modifications.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It is a coolant manifold, after all. When you say "weak Saab radiator," do you mean that this particular unit has a problem? Many here have used the Saab 900 Turbo rad with very good results. It was not a "respectable" Saab radiator. I think the pre...

I was having problems of it overheating on the way home because it had a really weak saab radiator in it. I can see on the coolant gauge where the thermostat opens. I am assuming the coolant manifold is vacuum controlled by the hvac head in the car? Edit: Belay my idiotic rambling. I guess it's refe...
